Comments

On the corner of hwy 74 and TDK Blvd.-at Crosstown Rd. (in the Pit Stop complex)-they said they've been open 6 weeks. If you are tired of the fast food on the south side of PTC, try this. They are only open Mon thru Friday 11am-8PM.

Think of it as a smaller, newer version of Cracker Barrel or Fork In the Road. Very small seating area and a few seats outside. Nothing fancy. Take out mostly, probably.

Veggie meal 4 sides and a roll or muffin $4.99

Square meal entree and either 2 or 3 or 4 sides-6.99 7.99 Homemade soups and meat specials every day.

Tried it today and I would recommend it. I hope they do well. They told me they have no web site, but are on facebook.
